Re: ptov command

Below you find my version of the ptov function. I have just added a few lines and placed them under "#if defined(ARM)". The test is reasonable for ARM so I would appreciate if you include it. For other platforms please do whatever you like.

void
cmd_ptov(void)
{
	int c;
	ulong vaddr;
	physaddr_t paddr;
#if defined(ARM)
	physaddr_t paddr_tst;
#endif
	char buf1[BUFSIZE];
	char buf2[BUFSIZE];
	int others;

	while ((c = getopt(argcnt, args, "")) != EOF) {
		switch(c)
		{
		default:
			argerrs++;
			break;
		}
	}

	if (argerrs || !args[optind])
		cmd_usage(pc->curcmd, SYNOPSIS);

	others = 0;
	while (args[optind]) {
		paddr = htoll(args[optind], FAULT_ON_ERROR, NULL);
		vaddr = PTOV(paddr);

#if defined(ARM)
		if (kvtop(0, vaddr, &paddr_tst, 0) && paddr_tst==paddr) {
#endif
		fprintf(fp, "%s%s  %s\n", others++ ? "\n" : "", 
		    mkstring(buf1, VADDR_PRLEN, LJUST, "VIRTUAL"),
		    mkstring(buf2, VADDR_PRLEN, LJUST, "PHYSICAL"));
		fprintf(fp, "%s  %s\n",
		    mkstring(buf1, VADDR_PRLEN, LJUST|LONG_HEX, MKSTR(vaddr)),
                    mkstring(buf2, VADDR_PRLEN, LJUST|LONGLONG_HEX, 
			MKSTR(&paddr)));
#if defined(ARM)
		} else {
			fprintf(fp, "Unknown virtual address for physical address 0x%08llx\n", paddr);
		}
#endif

		optind++;
	}
}

Sounds reasonable, at least for the 32-bit arches.  I don't think it's
necessary for any 64-bit arch.  And you'd also need to account for kvtop()
failing outright (and returning FALSE).
